Yellow-throated Longclaw

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Yellow-throated Longclaw at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, Phinda Private Game Reserve, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park, Giants Castle Game Reserve and iSimangaliso Wetland Park and other reserves. A record means a host has seen it on the property or nearby, which makes these the places to base yourself; it is never a guarantee of a sighting on any given day.

The Yellow-throated Longclaw is most recorded in KwaZulu-Natal (73% of records), Mpumalanga (21% of records), based on 968 iNaturalist observations. 66 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Yellow-throated Longclaw on site or nearby.

The Yellow-throated Longclaw is recorded throughout the year, so no month is the wrong month to look for it. For the parks where hosts record it most, these are the best seasons they give. Kruger National Park: Apr-Sep; uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Phinda Private Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
